Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb uncooked peeled deveined medium shrimp (31 to 35), thawed if frozen, tail shells removed
1 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In medium bowl, mix Bisquick mix, egg and milk. Add shrimp; gently stir to coat well.
  • In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat to 375°F. In shallow dish, place half of the coconut (add remaining coconut after coating half of the shrimp).
